Milk thistle flowers and seeds arranged with scientific glassware

Milk Thistle and Liver Enzyme Support

Milk thistle has been used for centuries as a liver herb. The part modern research keeps returning to is silymarin, its active complex.

What the review looked at

A 2023 systematic review in Cureus examined how silymarin supplements relate to liver enzyme levels across the published clinical research.

Why it matters for Livana

Milk thistle is a core antioxidant-support ingredient in our formula. That review is the citation we point to for it. The formula has eleven other actives, because no single herb covers every pathway the liver uses day to day.
